Letters Patent No. 105,774, dated July 26,1870.

IMPROVED MACHINE-FOR PLOCKING- WALL-PAPER, SHOW-CARDS, Q16.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Be it knowu that I, HENRY W. BULKLEY, of the city of New York,-iu' the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Machine for Flocking Wall-Paper, Show-Cards, 850.; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the construction and operation of -the same, reference being had to the anncx'eddrawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

' This machine is-intended to supersede the ordinary hand' method of distributingand beating in flock. v

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my'inventiou, I. will describe its construction and operation, as shown in Figure 1, whichis a side view, and

. Figure 2, an end view of the machine.

A represents a'frame, having sides and a bottom, K, of canvas, tightly stretched.

B B are rocking-shafts, carrying the arms H, with the heaters E E, which are of wood, steel,'or other convenient substance;

A vibratory motion being given to the shaft B by the eccentric or earn 0, onshaft D, and transmitted to B by arms L and rod F, the heaters E E are caused to stri ke' alternately. the'canvas bottom of the machine, with a force proportioned to their velocity.

The article to be flocked, resting upon said canvas bottom,and being covered with flock, is thus subjected to the action of't-he heaters E and E, which distribute and beat in the flock in a much better and more expeditious manner than has hitherto been done.

The shaft B is rotated by a belt on the pulley G or by any other means more desirable. 5

The paper may be passed through the machine by openings in the end of the frame A, being 'moved by hand, or by means of a suitable arrangement of feedrolle'rs, driven by gearing from the shaft D. p

The flockis supplied to the machine by a handsieve, or by a jogging-hox placed on top'ol' the frame A, and moved from the shaft B; N

What I claim as my invention, and desire to sef cure by Letters Patent, is-- The construction'ot a flocking-machine,f0l the r purposes above mentioned, with boaters having'a posi tive vibratory motion from an eccentric,- crank, cam,

'orother device, the whole arranged substantially as described.
